摘要

This research is an experimental design for determining the attribution retraining influence on academic achievement by “ABCDEF “method. The participants were 50 high school girl students who were chosen among 72 students from two schools. They were put in two groups, each groups include 25 participants, including control and experimental groups. Experimental group was retrained attribution by ABCDEF method, including recognizing of efficient and non efficient beliefs, recognizing, false beliefs accepting changeable nature of beliefs and enforcing in cognitive restructuring background in two month and 2hours per session at 8 meetings. After this procedure was done ASQ pretesting and mean score of two groups were analyzed by covariance analysis. Results showed that after learning period, negative score of attribution in experimental group decreased and increased to positive score of attribution in experimental group decreased to positive score in attribution (p<0.001). In addition the results showed that attribution retraining by ABCDEF method have positive effect on educational performance which then causes higher achievement.
